Circum-Arctic Structural Events: Tectonic
Evolution of the Arctic Margins and
Trans-Arctic Links with Adjacent Orogens
Edited by Karsten Piepjohn, Justin V. Strauss,
Lutz Reinhardt, and William C. McClelland
The circum-Arctic region has received considerable
attention over the past several decades with vigor-
ous debate focused on topics such as mechanisms
for opening the Eurasian and Amerasian basins, the

Circum-Arctic Structural Events gins. In recognition of the 25th anniversary of the
ancient terrane translation along the Arctic mar-
Circum-Arctic Structural Events (CASE) program,
an international polar research effort organized
Tectonic Evolution of the Arctic Margins and Trans-Arctic Links
and led by the Bundesanstalt für Geowissen-
schaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) of Germany, this
with Adjacent Orogens
volume presents results from 18 major field
expeditions involving over 100 international
geoscientists from a broad spectrum of disci-
plines. The resulting publication focuses on
the Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonic evolution
of the circum-Arctic region with correlations
to adjacent orogens.
